The facility is very peaceful and clean. Area is nearly perfect. You can walk 5-10 minutes via pacific walk way and you’ll reach the center. The hotel is very very close to the beach like 1-2 minutes. The design of the room is simple, has a quality and fresh. Bed is a little bit soft, this could be a problem for people have spine problems.

Location was great. Bikes were a bonus. The room was big enough for our family of 5. There was a small kitchenette. Games available in the courtyard was great.

Fantastic and super cozy B&B in a quiet street: walking distance to the Main Street as well as the Pier. Very comfortable room with a great bedding and shower, super friendly and warm hosts and an absolutely amazing homemade breakfast. We had the most fabulous and enjoyable stay. Thank you so much dear Bath Street Inn for a dream weekend!

The room was clean and had great amenities. The fireplace was a great addition and made the room more comfortable. It felt secluded and private, but at the same time close to everything. The breakfast was excellent and the staff was really friendly and helped answer any questions we had. We will definitely be staying again for our anniversary.

The room was really cute and I loved the bathroom. The tiles, the layout with the makeup corner. We were right on the beach and a short walk from everything.

Met our expectations. View on the beach / ocean but not directly by the road, so avoiding traffic nuisance. Lovely gardens. Friendly and helpful staff.

Ben was extremely comfortable. Room was fantastic. We loved the tub. Bonus for sure. We were right on the beach and after we got there all of our transportation was by foot. Location was great. A 2-second walk to Stearns Wharf. We will definitely come back!
